On April 11, 1968, US President Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act of 1968, also called the Fair Housing Act, which outlaws discrimination related to the sale, rental and financing of housing. The Act is signed into law during the riots that erupted after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.. The president had previously signed the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act into law.
EXPLAINER: ‘Attorney-client privilege is dead,’ President Trump declared on Twitter this week after the FBI raided the New York office and hotel room of the president’s longtime attorney, Michael Cohen.

Senseless murder is not the only thing that binds two Rwandan families. More than two decades ago, Silas Bihizi joined other ethnic Hutus in killing five Tutsi neighbors. It was part of three months of bloodshed in April 1994, that left at least 800,000 people dead, most of them Tutsis. Bihizi’s victims were Valens Rukiriza’s brother, his brother’s wife and their three children. Today, Bihizi and Rukiriza are not only neighbors who live side by side, they are also family because their children chose to marry each other.
